Speed is no longer a reason in 0.7.2. You will have to wait the first time while it scans the device and creates a cache file to work from. After the first time 15 minutes becomes seconds.

What is now on the device??

Now that the initial connection is not a time waster it makes more sense to use calibre to remove the books then resend them to the device. Just as quick and less messy since the metadata is updated during the send to device operation.
That said 0.7.2 has a bug or two that will be fixed in 0.7.3
